Spring - PostConstruct

Found that using @PostConstruct doesn't have transactional ability. Looking around I found this link:

So by implementing the app listener you can have it bootstrap the configuration once the context has finished loading.

@Repository
public class MyDAOImpl implements ApplicationListener, MyDAO {

    @Transactional(propagation=Propagation.REQUIRED)
    public void onApplicationEvent(ApplicationEvent event) {
        if (event instanceof ContextRefreshedEvent) {
            postCreate();
        }

    }

    public void postCreate() {
      //Code
      
        }
    }
